The Pixels Ensemble is a collective of established chamber music players with a shared passion for performing the finest repertoire, from the classical period to the present day. For this concert at Conway Hall, they offer the three ‘Bs’: Bach, Beethoven and Brahms.

Following on from their project to record Stephen Dodgson’s chamber music for Naxos, the Karolos Ensemble present his first string trio, dating from 1951. They bookend their programme with two masterpieces for the genre by Schubert and Beethoven.

The culmation of Hiro Takenouchi’s year-long cycle of the Mozart Piano Sonatas includes some of his greatest works in the genre, including the effervescent D major sonatas and the famous ‘Rondo alla Turca’.

Prizewinners at the 2015 Wigmore Hall String Quartet competition, the Piatti Quartet are one of the most distinguished quartets of their generation. They perform frequently across the UK and abroad, and their recent recording on Champs Hill Records brought rave reviews, the BBC Music Magazine declaring ‘The Piatti Quartet are on fine form’.
